just a dash..

 

I know it is the holiday season... I am just not quite ready to go all the way!  I adore the little touches of pink in this space.  It is refreshing and feminine.  I wish you a wonderful Tuesday my friends and maybe just maybe we can hold off the Christmasness until December 1st this year.. or maybe not.

greige and green..

 

We have been searching for the perfect fireplace and I dream of something this beautiful.  Although it would need to be scaled down quite a bit I love the feeling it brings to the space.  This room seems so clean yet comforting and that little touch of color in the table and the pillow makes it perfect for me.

greige and pink...

 

I fell for the eclectic mix in this space, that and the windows and multiple fireplaces.  The wall color is fantastic and the little accents of pink and feminine touches are just perfection.  This is the home of Hilary Robertson, the owner of Mrs. Robertson in Ft. Greene and it is a divine mix of vintage and well traveled collections, just the way a home should feel.

Feeling fall...

 

I am completely feeling fall this week, it has finally started to cool off here in Southern Cal., for a few days anyway.  I want to drink hot tea, write in a journal and do it all in front of a warm cozy fireplace.  But alas, the house is pulled apart, I have no stove to heat water on and no time to rest, so can you enjoy it for me?  Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

 

Masculine lounge...

I fell madly for this room when I saw it in Atlanta Home and Lifestyles.  I love the masculine feel of the space and the contrast of the dark upholstery with  the white walls.  Another great detail is the way that designer Jimmy Stanton balances out the window with the stack of books and antlers.  

To see the rest of the show house visit their site.

grey and lavender

 

Grey and lavender is a combination I don't think we see enough of.  I just love the soft combination!

This is a great way to treat an offset mantle also- they can always be so difficult.  

Happy Thursday already, I am not sure where the week disappeared to but thank goodness it is almost the weekend again!

Dreamy simplicity

 

The simplicity of this space is perfection.  Can you imagine - no television - no phone - just sleep and a warm fire?

I hope you have a restful and wonderful Sunday!

Happy Thanksgiving week...

 

I hope everyone is getting ready for a relaxing week of over indulgence in comfort food.  I know I am we are one turkey dinner down with 2 more to go!  I had every intention of posting some pictures of the almost complete bathroom today but hosting dinner and house guests took most of the extra time this weekend.  So maybe tomorrow.  I am excited at the progress and more excited to be close to finishing something!

Wishing you a lovely Monday!

Dark grey and white

The contrast here is so perfect!  I have been leaning towards softer greys as of late and this just brings me back to the dark with a lot of contrast.  The details in the mantel and the door paneling are so perfect.  Sometimes I wish I lived in a home with such history and detail.  But it is not meant to be right now.

Someday maybe.

I am looking forward to the weekend it is supposed to rain a bit here so another few days of relaxation I hope.  I am starting to read Gone with the Wind for the first time and I am hoping it will entertain me for the weekend.  Have you read it?  What did you think?  I know it is a classic and I had to pick it up when I saw it the other day.

Next week I have a lot coming up here on the blog, another giveaway and some great pics to post!

Have a wonderful day!  It is 11/11/11 so cool!!!!

Wood Texture..

 

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far!  I am not sure that we could ever use all of that wood even over several years!  But I like the cozy idea of it and oh how wonderful are those floors.

Pool house cozy...

 

This looks like the perfect place to spend the weekend.

I think I need one for sure, a little fire, a little pool, a little time to spend with friends and family.

Wishing you a magical weekend!

simple and clean...

I think this space is fantastic.  The windows and the light are the focal point and it is just so clean and simple.  A great place to get away from it all.

Accented in black

The dark accents in this space make it just right I think... and I love the way the photos are taken from one room looking into another.

I hope you are having a great long weekend!!
